| | Development stage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Each major version of a product usually goes through a stage when new features are added (alpha stage), then a stage when it is actively debugged (beta stage), and finally a stage when all important bugs have been removed (stable stage). | | | The name is derived from Alpha, the first letter in the Greek alphabet. | | | A beta version or beta release usually represents the first feature complete version of a computer program or other product, likely to be unstable but useful for internal demonstrations and previews to select customers. |

| | Alpha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The uppercase letter alpha is not generally used as a symbol because it tends to be rendered identically to the uppercase latin A. | | | Alpha is represented in Unicode by U+0391 (uppercase alpha) and U+03B1 (lowercase alpha). | | | Alpha, both as a symbol and term, is used to refer to or describe a variety of things, including the first or most significant occurrence of something. |

| | The real justification for their disjunction, where other letters have been borrowed into the IPA from Greek, is that they are not limited to phonetic usage; they have been adopted in the widely used, and largely IPA-based, Practical Orthography of African languages. | | | The mathematical typesetting of Greek letters in an overall Latin context has developed its own tradition, which Haralambous (§2) spends a little time discussing; it includes the obligatory italicising of Greek, and the preference for closed phi and theta, and distinctive glyphs for alpha and gamma. | | | I've already addressed the havoc mathematics has wrought on the Greek script in Unicode in discussing mathematical symbol letters, as well as the mathematical alphanumeric symbols. |

| | The Bayer designation consists of two parts: a Greek letter, such as Alpha, to designate the particular star in a constellation and usually in descending order of brightness; and the name of the constellation in the Latin genitive (possessive) case, such as Ursae Minoris and meaning "of Ursa Minor". | | | Each star in a constellation was assigned a Greek letter, usually starting with the brightest (alpha), and the name of the constellation was appended. | | | For example, one of the four stars of the Great Square of Pegasus became part of the constellation Andromeda and is now known as Alpha Andromedae. |

| | The first designation, using the Greek letter alpha, is called the Bayer designation and represents its primary placement (not always its brightness) in the constellation of Canis Major. | | | An example is the name Betelgeuse for alpha Orionis, which Allen attributes to a supposed Arabic form, bat al-jauza, which he claims means "armpit of the giant." In fact, such a form would be ungrammatical; the proper form of bat should be ibt. | | | For instance, the brightest star in the night sky, Sirius, is also known as alpha Canis Majoris and 9 Canis Majoris. |
